Object-oriented programming has brought many advantages to the software engineering community. The reuse of existing software components and application frameworks can improve the productivity in
software development considerably. The same object-oriented techniques, i.e., inheritance and information hiding, that ease reusing software, can be applied to documentation and thus, enable its reuse.
One can document each software component--regardless of what a component is--from scratch. This leads to multiple documentation of features that are multiply reused. One can also describe a
component's differences to other components...
